Miyamoto and I have decided to leave the town of Schei?loch behind and move to a town with a library. We wanted to learn more about this land and its people. As we walked, it seemed like we were surrounded only by grass and forest. There were a few dirt roads we took, but they were far and few between. I pondered the economic health of this country, and wondered whether this whole county is either a shithole–or maybe this region just pissed some god off. We decided to set up camp in a nearby open field, and decided to sleep in shifts. I told Miyamoto I’ll take the first one if he’s fine with it, but he made me promise I’d wake him if anything happens. I sat there looking up at the untouched night sky, gazing at its beauty, my phone was playing Vesti la Giubba and Turandot in the background. I heard something from the forest, and I clocked my gun and readied it. I was ready to wake Miyamoto up, but the sound stopped, and I saw a rabbit-like thing run away. I was telling myself how stupid I was for losing it over some rabbit when I heard it. Then came a blood-curdling scream and hideous roar. I then woke Miyamoto and told him that hell had opened up.

  “Well, good thing we have the King of Hell,” Miyamoto responded.

  The sound of the beast became more and more noticeable, and that fucking yell grew louder. Miyamoto and I were ready with our weapons for mortal combat. The roar was now deafening. It reminded me to hand out ear protection to both of us. Something was coming out of the forest, but it wasn’t a monster; we saw it was a woman charging straight at us with a T-fucking Rex behind her. I started firing at the beast. The woman screamed and kept running right at us. The beast was about 40 feet tall. The roar of the T-Rex damn near blew my eardrums clean out. Miyamoto drew his sword while I readied my gun. He took a breath. Miyamoto sprinted past her toward the beast. The katana combusted into flames like it was pulled straight out of hell. With a single slash, Miyamoto decapitated the T-Rex.

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  “Holy Shit! Time out! The fuck just happened? First, who are you? Second, why was there a damn T-Rex on your heels. ”

  “I'm-I’m Celeste, and a…a mage.”

  “Well, why were you being chased?”

  She took a long breath.

  “My was on are first adventure when we-we were ambushed by a horde of monsters. We stood our ground, but people started dropping.”

  She started to cry.

  M-My friends told me to run. But..but one of the monsters was able to find me by my scent and chase me here.”

  She looked at both of us and dropped to her knees.

  That’s when I ran into you two. Please… will you help me see if they’re still alive, please?”

  “Why should we? I unloaded 8 rounds into the fucker, and didn’t even flinch. The only reason we’re all still kicking is because of Miyamoto's weird ass katana.”

  “Don’t you want to be a hero?”

  “No,”

  “Why not?”

  “Because we’re the devils…, and our only goal is to get to a city with a library.”

  “ You’re going to a city, right? You’ll need coins. Those monsters? Those monsters hoard piles of gold.”

  “We’re going, if Miyamoto is ok with it.”

  “I’m ready to do this; it would be a great opportunity to become an even stronger swordsman,” Miyamoto said.

  “Well, that settles that… Time for The Devil’s first dungeon.”
